Guess who replaces Patricia Etteh as house speaker?? 38 year old Dimeji Bankole is Nigeria's new House Speaker (i.e. number 4 in Nigeria in terms of tiers/ranking). I found a pic of him on ThisDay. Apparently he went to Sandhurst, Oxford and then Harvard (read Uzo's post).

Hmmm nice one - paving the way for the younger generation. Is this a revolution????? Read story here

...yes Mona,

Big up urself still...seems like the sista's on the pulse...literally read about the Bankole and D'Banj stories(congrats n'all to the pair of them) minutes ago only to find you've updated ur blog with links, photos and the works...safe! for working this hard for US...Well done!!

Mona, thanks for d African Act news ojare. Do you know i specifically sat my ass down thru out last nite just to see if they'll show d African act part and they never did? I even went on yeye BBC site to see d list of winners and d African act wasn't there either. As far as i'm concerned these oyibo idiots are jokers and racists. Ok enough of my venting. Congrats to D'banj, even though i ain't really a fan of his.

As for Dimeji Bankole, *sighs* isn't he just HOT? You can take that smile enter World bank o.

Mona Luv ur Blog ... however small point of correction. The Dimeji Bankole guy is actually 38 years old , born in 1969... Furthermore trust naijas to egg schools they attended or should i say visited.... Just like Orji Kalu boasted he'd attended Harvard, after going on a 1 (ONE) week management programme ... The guy holds diplomas at best from Oxford and Harvard , and a degree from Reading University. At least better than the hairdresser / beautician He's replacing, that had to forge her FREEDOM certificate... By the way he's SINGLE never been married.

1. Bankole: am waiting. so far, everyone is saying he is cute. I need to see better pics to discern for myself. plus, all that is important to me right now is what steps are being taken towards growth in this country. His age is nothing to me but a number

2. Awards: Big Ups for Dbanj. Craig David is still working? That guy needs to drop another album. His last one, I have murdered.

About The Blog

After not having blogged in 6 years, even I myself am shocked and nervous about this....but hey you do as you are told. I have been led to start blogging again (on this page, strangely enough rather than on a separate 'ministry' type blog so here goes). The truth is once a blogger, always a blogger. Cheers to new directions!
